Jumbo Chords

(ver. 1)
Punch Brothers
[Intro]
E6  Eb6  E6
E6  Eb6  E6

[Verse 1]
      C#m                     B
Well, here comes Jumbo with a phone in his hand
         E7                            A
Bet it’s been a while since you seen a real man
F#                         Eb/G       E/G#       B7
Grown up strong on the fat of the land of the free
        E                     Emaj
Sure, I guess he got off to a hell of a start
         E7                      Amaj
With his grandpa’s money and his daddy’s heart
               F#                   Eb/G        E6
But you oughta know privileged is a pretty hard thing to be
E6
You know?
E6

[Verse 2]
      C#m                     B
Whoa! Here comes Jumbo with a knife and a tan
       E7                      A
And an elephant’s tail for his Instagram
      F#                Eb/G          E/G#       B7
Grown up brave on the fat of the land of the free
        E                         Emaj
See the twinkle in his eye like a torch in the dark
     E7                                Amaj
On a court-approved stroll through the city park
          F#                     Eb/G             E/G#                     G#7
Whistling which of you purebreds gonna bark at my theme song goes a little something like:

[Chorus]
           C#m
Here comes Jumbo
            F#/A#
American as gumbo
              B                    B7/D#             E         G#7
Skin white as new corn liquor hair black as molasses rum, though
         C#m
He ain’t dumb, no
            F#/A#   F#
You elitist bums, go
        B                         G#7
Get yourselves off of Capitol Hill
             C#m
‘Cause we’ve just about had our fill
   E7              Amaj    F#
Of y’all playing Columbo

[Bridge]
                Fm     Fm2
When anyone can tell
              C#maj   Bb7
That good old Jumbo
                      C6
Was only to trying to help
               C6/5-
Only trying to help
N.C.
Oh, help us out with one now Jumbo

[Interlude]
Em  D  G7  C
A  F#/A#  G/B  B7
G  Gmaj  G7  Cmaj
A  F#/A#  G/B  B7

Em  A/C#
D  D/F#  G  B7
Em  A/C#
D  B7  Em  G7
C  A7
G#m  G#7

[Chorus]
           C#m
Here comes Jumbo
            F#/A#
American as gumbo
              B                       B7/D#             E        G#7
Washed in the blood of the little man singing fee fi fo fum, bro
                 C#m
‘Til his kingdom comes so
            F#/A#
You elitist bums can go
         B                     G#7
f**k yourselves off of Capitol Hill
             C#m                E7
‘Cause we’ve just about had our fill
             A                 Eb7
Of wondering what is and isn’t rigged
                 G#              F7
When there’s all these unadopted kids
         Bbm                    G#7/C
Ready to swim across the Bering Sea
                C#m                    E7
To feast on the fat of the land of the free
                        Amaj
They’re twiddling their thumbs though
                 F#7
While y’all play Columbo
              E6
With poor old Jumbo

[Outro]
E6  Eb6  E6
           Shhh
E6  Eb6  E6
